STEPS IN LIFE.-Life may be considered
as succession of steps. We are of No
particular account until we learn to step,
for up to that time we simply belong to
that humble species of vegetable life known
as creepers.
We usually signalize our first success
in stepping by falling down the first pair
of steps we are able to reach. Growing
older, our parents cause US to step of in
the direction of school, and if we hang
back they take steps to make US 60. Then
there is the dancing school where we learn
other steps calculated to give US ease and
grace.
Boyhood over, we step into situation
if we can, and learn business or profes-
sion by slow and successive steps. AS
others step down and out we step ahead,
if we don't fall behind. for men can take
steps backward as we'll as forward. Back
ward steps are very costly, as many dis
cover. ..
The most important step we take is near
the steps of the altar, when we step up III
front of the minister to be married, since
all of our future steps may depend on this
one. The remark applies to both parties
of the contract, let US observe. Once start
ed en- the connubial highway the most Of
US are compelled to step pretty lively to
keep up with the procession. In time
there are other steps to mind beside our
own and missteps to guard against.
AS the years wear on our steps lose their
wonted elasticity and wax slower, and the
inevitable hour arrives finally when we
must step out and let others step into our
shoes. There are grounds for believing
that the more correct our steps are here
the more agreeable they will be on the
other shore.-Isras SJtings.

T.-Contentmen is being
satisfied with what we have, not with
what we are. 1t refers to material things,
not to mental requirements nor spiritual
attainments. 1t is more than making the
best of everything. 1T is believing with
out questioning that Gods will and Gods
way are best for us. 1t is being sure that
whatever comes, "all things work togeth-
er for good" The contented Christian
may be artistic, may have a genuine love
of the beautiful, may enjoy dainty furnish
ings; but if his home be poor and plain ne
will be just as happy there as anywhere if
God reigns within, and he lives only to do
His will.
A poor widow who had no warm clothes
to cover her little boy when sleeping, used
boards for blankets, trying to shelter him
from the snow, which blew through the
cracks of their miserable hovel. One
night he said to her smiling, "Mother,
what do poor folks do these cold nights
who have no boards to put over their chill
dren?" A great king walking out one
morning, met lad at the stable door, and
asked him, swell, my boy, what do they
pay you here for your work." Moth.
ing" replied the lad, Except my food
and clothes" "Be content" said the
king, II have no more."-7he illustrator.

Egypt. The layer of soil is so thin that
the sun dries it up Immediately, and un-
less the grass is constantly submerged 1t
turns yellow and perishes at once, 1t is
not the heat alone that produces this re-
suit, for there is very much fine grass in
the tropics; but the heat, accompanied by
the shalloWness of the soil, renders the
culture of grass impossible in Egypt. 1t
is with difficulty that few isolated blades
of grass sprout during winter along the
Nile and the canals; they disappear as soon
as the spring begins, so that everywhere
in the country where artificial cultivation
finishes the dry and bare desert begins.
In the place of grass a pretty little yer.
benacea is used, and this is encountered
tered in America. Brooklyn Magazine.

Why Ia ltY

An exchange, whose editor has level
head. puts it to this shape:-"Can any
man tell US why ii is that when so many
men want credit, they trade at home; aud
when they pay cash they 20 away? We
have noticed a good many times that q
man who takes the Chicago paper, paws
for it in advance while his home paper
goes delinquent, as though it was an ac-
commodation for the publisher to send it
TO him year after yenr for nothing. We
have noticed that men and women who
owe large dry goods bills at home go
abroad and pay cash for what they get
We notice that when men wish to buy
they generally pay cash down to agents,
while their friends and neIghbors are
obliged to wait for more convenient
season. We think this is wrong. We
ought to hang together better. We
ought to be just to those who have been
accommodating to us, before we are gen
erous to those we do not know.'

Judge 1ripp on Friday last notified j.
n. True, whom he had suspended from
praetice before the bar, that he could
aot prac;icc in any court, supreme, dis
trict, probaie, Justice or other court,
neither should he foreciose mortgages as
an attorney nor give legal advice, with
ct withou, charging for the same. If he
heard Of him doing any OF these things,
he should hold him in contempt OF
court. There were many good attorneys
who had said that the suspension cx
tended only to the higher courts, but
judge Tripp says to all courts in the
territory, and he also says that as the
courtcsies of courts are extended from
one to the other, it practically suspends
him from ell home and foreign courts.
There is point here for ali attorneys
TO note. and to keep out of such pre-.
dicament, they must live honest likes.

Everything Comes TO the Man who

From the Sioux City Journs

FROM the sioux Clty journal
Not only Iowa, but Dakota and Ncb-
raska as well. are rejoicing over numer-
Gus and copious local rain showers. In
Dakota the rain, falling at this particu-
lar time. is doubly welcome for the
reason that Dakotg has planted more
corn this year than ever before. Corn
must have rain in Dakota just the same
as in Iowa or Illinois. There is II larger
area in South Dakota than that section
has been given credit for, in which corn
can pc protitably raised The dry sea-
son last year made sorry havoc among
the south Dakota corn fields, and many
were hastyenough to say that the fault
jurc the corn crop in Iowa last year.
Another drought in south Dakota would
have brought serious results because Of
the false notion it might have impaired
to many regarding the soil 1t is inter
csting to recall the fact that the original
settlers who went into Page COUNTY,
Iowa. and into the country Immediately
surrounding it, met with succession Of
failures of the corn crop op account of
drought, and the fault was laid to the
soil 1t was said and ii was widely be-
lleved at that time, that corn would
never be raised in that section. And yet
Page county has for several years been
the banner county in Iowa for the pro-
duction of corn, and for quarter of a
century it has been famous forts corn
crops. Such facts as these are full of en-
conragcmcnt for the farmers of, Oak ota
who have refused to be influenced by i'll
omened croaking, and who have this
year carried the boundaries of the corn
fields far beyond their previous limits.
Providence was on their side when Da-
kota was made, and is staying by them

Here is a plan for a geographical
social: The gentlemen are each given a
card on which is printed the name of
some county in Dakota. while the ladies
each receive card with county scat
printed thereon, all for dime Then
each gent hunts up the county seat of
his county and takes her to refreshments,
If he cannot tell the county seat belong
ing TO his county, he must pay ten cent?
forfeit before he can obtain the desired
information. Music and literary enter
tainment in connection.
